EAR-RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 477,025, dated June 14, 1892. Application filed September 25, 1891. Serial No. 406,829. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MARCUS STERN, of New York city, New York, have invented an Improved Earire, of which the followingis a specification.

This invention relates to a non-tilting earring of simple construct-ion, in which Vlblt't'.

tion is prevented by a forwardly projecting shoulder or bend in the wire.

The invention consists in the various features of improvement more fully pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figu re 1 is a side View of my improved ear-wire; Fig. 2, a rear view thereof; Fig. 3, a section on line 50 a", Fig. 1; and Fig. 4, a perspective view showing it in use. Figs. 1 and 3 are drawn on an enlarged scale.

The letter a represents the ear-wire carry iug the ornament b, which is suspended byau eye 0 from its inclined front section. That part of the ear-wire which is located back of the ear-lobe isprovided with an in wardly-projecting shoulder cl, formed by an inward bend of the wire itself.

The entire wire is bent in the following manner: From the front the wire passes backward to form top section a, thence it passes vertically downward, as at- (R, then backward, as at a substantially parallel to the inclined front section, and then downward, as at (L The angles formed between these several bends should be rounded, so thatthe wire may be drawn freely through the ear. The lower free end of the wire is engaged in the usual manner by a hook or catch e. After the wire has been drawuthrough the car an d the catch e closed, the upright section a will bear against the rear side of the ear-lobe A with gentle but steady pressure. Thus the wire will be tightly held in place and tilting will be prevented in a simple manner.

XV hat I claim is- An ear-Wire having a shoulder (Z, a re.ar wardly-extcnding section a back of the shoulder, a substan tially-parallel front section, and a suspending-loop c, seen red to such front section, as set forth.
